Okra variety recommendation

ChrisK · December 17, 2011

This Yankee living in the south needs a recommendation for a variety to plant for an elderly neighbor whose garden we plant and tend. She grew the "whatever they had at Logan's" variety, years ago! No experience with this plant, I just know it takes a lot of heat to grow well and can get big.

What are good producers with good flavor? Dwarf varieties preferred.

Also, how many plants to plant for a single person? She'll be the only one eating them!

Edit: Found some of these varieties: Annie Oakley II F1; Little Lucy F1; Lee; Baby Bubba

Any thoughts on them?
